Abstract:
This talk outlines how one can use one of the fundamental theorems of
game theory, Van Neumann's Minimax Theorem, along with Sklansky's
Fundamental Theorem of Poker to develop an "unbeatable" bluffing
strategy for the game of poker, that inexorably changes certain losing
situations into winning ones. The best part is your opponents can know
your strategy in advance, and still have no recourse against it. Along
the way we'll explore a bit of mathematical game theory (which is really
not so much about games as it is about making correct decisions) and how
to correctly perform some basic statistical reasoning.
